The latest Travis Hafner MLB and fantasy baseball news

The New York Yankees put SP CC Sabathia (hamstring) on the 60-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring Wednesday, Sept. 25, and activated DH Travis Hafner (shoulder) from the 60-day DL in a corresponding move.

The New York Yankees are expected to activate DH Travis Hafner (shoulder) from the 60-day disabled list Wednesday, Sept. 25, according to a source. He has been sidelined due to a rotator cuff issue for approximately 10 weeks.

Although the latest injuries to New York Yankees SS Derek Jeter (hamstring) and 3B Alex Rodriguez (quad) may keep him safe, DH Travis Hafner may be released at some point in the second half if either Jeter or Rodriguez come back healthy. Hafner himself cannot play in the field due to past injuries, and there are scenarios in which Hafner simply will be released, unless he regains value by recovering his power stroke.
